What I didn\u2019t know, and have since discovered, is how terrific the HMC community is. I felt an immediate sense of connection with almost everyone I met: faculty, students and parents. I attribute this to the fact that HMC is small, with a unique campus culture that fosters sustainable, lifelong connections. I can honestly say I\u2019ve never met a kinder or more interesting group of people, and I know Max would say the same.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote><p class=\"wp-block-mudd-quote-citation\"><cite>Heather Mingst P&#8217;22<\/cite><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3993,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-primary.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3621","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3621"}],"version-history":[{"count":73,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3621\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4525,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3621\/revisions\/4525"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/parents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
